The Lynden Christian boys basketball team remained unbeaten Monday as the Lyncs earned a 69-59 Northwest Conference win over host Sedro-Woolley.

Cole Bajema poured in a game-high 31 points and snagged 10 rebounds to lead Lynden Christian to victory. Bajema scored 21 of his 31 in the second half, and 14 in the fourth quarter.

“It was a grinder of a night,” Lynden Christian coach Roger DeBoer said. “We battled back in the second half and Cole was a big part of that.”

Sedro-Woolley jumped out to a 21-11 lead in the second quarter before the Lyncs took a 1-point lead into halftime. Lynden Christian turned up its offense in the second half, and at one point led the Cubs by 16.
